Question:
From the Holy Makkah, via the program’s mobile line, the brother 'Abd al-Majid asks: Is the heightening of buildings among the signs of the approach of the Hour?
Answer:
Yes, it came in the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that in the last of times, people will build tall structures. This is one of the signs of the Hour, which is certain to come upon us or upon those after us. However, what is obligatory is to follow the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and to follow the community of Muslims and the leader of the Muslims. This is what is obligatory for us. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
